Question

How do i deal with this pain that I have no idea what it is?

I am 37 weeks pregnant i am suffering from almost constant nausea, Diarrhea and lots of random sharp abdominal pains. I don't think they are braxton hicks because the braxton hicks I get don't hurt they just take my breath away. I will randomly get hot sweaty then cant breath and have to go to the bathroom. My doctor says all I have done is slightly soften. Someone Please help me understand because I am a first time momma and Don't know what to do.

This is normal. When you get to this point, it all gets really uncomfortable. The nausea and diarrhea is your body cleaning itself out to make room for baby coming out, gross I know. Random pains, i get them and it's because my darling is trying to get into the right position but also refusing to, so I feel him moving around my hips which hurts a lot, especially if I move suddenly, my breath gets taken away when he sticks his bum out or stretches right out. And hot flushes, I don't know why but it's common too. All I can recommend is lying down nice and stretched out, eating small amounts and not eating then moving heaps, just sit and digest. And just relax as uncomfortable comfortably as you can. It's not the most awesome part of pregnancy but it'll be over soon and your beautiful baby will be worth it.
